Simco LB2A4S Power Unit for high speed applications

Static electricity often becomes a greater challenge as production speeds increase. At high line speeds, traditional antistatic systems may struggle to neutralize static charges quickly enough, leading to dust attraction, quality issues and unstable production processes.

The Simco-ION LB2A4S is specifically designed for high speed applications where efficient static elimination is critical. Used together with Simco-ION AC ionizing bars, this Power Unit ensures highly effective generation of both positive and negative ions, even at demanding production speeds.

Why choose LB2A4S?

LB2A4S differs from conventional power supplies by incorporating two high-voltage transformers with 180° phase-shifted output voltages.

This allows connected ionizing bars to generate positive and negative ions simultaneously, resulting in faster and more effective neutralization of static charges on the material surface. The technology makes LB2A4S particularly suitable for high speed production lines where consistent static control is essential for maintaining product quality.

Typical applications

Simco-ION LB2A4S is commonly used in:

• Plastics and film production
• Packaging and converting lines
• Printing, coating and laminating processes
• High speed web applications with significant static challenges
• Production lines using multiple ionizing bars

The power supply can support up to 8 antistatic devices, making it suitable for both smaller installations and large production lines.

When should you choose LB2A4S?

LB2A4S is often the right choice when:

• Production speeds are exceptionally high
• Traditional power supplies do not provide sufficient static neutralization
• Multiple ionizing bars are used on the same production line
• High levels of process stability and product quality are required

For standard applications, A-Unit is often sufficient, while LB2A4S is primarily selected for more demanding high speed installations.
